Nick Willsher Quintet

New artists, emerging talent, diverse voices and brilliant musicians: this is our monthly evening devoted to spotlighting some of the best original music around, across a host of genres encompassing jazz, funk, soul, folk and pop (as well as everything in between). Our art deco basement, known for its brilliant acoustics and intimate atmosphere, is proud to showcase fine talents at affordable ticket prices – perfect for a great night out in the West End.

Saxophonist Nick Willsher brings this exciting new project for his Crazy Coqs debut, performing original material inspired by the skies. Combining influences from folk and ambient with European jazz, the music promises a broad mix of sound worlds. Writing and re-arranging for harp and vibraphone has brought an array of new colours to the music, bringing the tunes to life. Expect a refreshing palette of rich timbres and intricate textures.

Featuring:  Nick Willsher – saxophones and compositions, Jonny Mansfield – vibraphone, Tara Minton – harp, Lorenzo Morabito – double bass and Jonah Evans – drums
